However, if your gait is obviously inefficient AND you are
not winning races as often as you’d like, making changes might be a viable
option. To do this, I would consult a
gait expert. There are many coaches who
deal in gait modification, as well as professionals in biomechanics. Some of these biomechanics experts might even
have in their possession tens of thousands of dollars in gait analysis
equipment with phenomenal software, programs, etc.
Therefore, there are a myriad of options for the aspiring
elite runner, as well as runners who do not have such grandiose ambitions. If you are going to pursue this path of
efficiency in your gait, good luck!
There are many out there who would love to help…
